Love t he smell of fresh bread
I usually add gluten - but I see you have been doing that.
The other thing I have done is add an extra knead in to my ww bread. When the machine gets to the rest after the first knead, you
just reset it to start over so it kneads one extra time.
Your sweetener will help it rise - do you have sugar, molasses, or honey in the recipe?
I hope this helps. Good luck!!
